I went to another MeetUp event today, this time ten-pin bowling. It was part British Columbia Day celebration, part 4000-member-milestone celebration for the group. (Not all 4000 members came! Maybe about 40.) $10 for 2 games, shoe rental, pizza and cake =] It was a lot of fun, the other people in my lane were really nice and friendly, and some of us went to English Bay Beach afterwards for a short while before I left at 6 to go to a meeting to discuss another possible event with a different group.
East Vancouver is horrible. It's like a massive Shirley in terms of appearance, except you wouldn't want to walk on your own there even during the day, and it'd be insane to do so at night. The bus to the Skytrain station (had to catch the Skytrain to bowling place) goes along Broadway into East Vancouver and frankly I'm glad I don't live anywhere near it. East of Main Street was the one place that the people at Work'N'Holiday specifically told us not to look for accomodation in.
On the other hand, what I saw of the southern part of Downtown Vancouver, around English Bay Beach, Davie Street and Yaletown, was really nice, and I definitely wouldn't mind going there again. One of the bowling people pointed out and recommended a particular Thai restaurant and an ice-cream shop. Sure enough the latter had a huge queue outside.
That's all for now, just a short post this time. :)
